I am an automotive enthusiast and an active duty soldier. I have been fortunate enough to pursue my love for motorsports by working for some amazing Rally teams, building some incredible race cars, and getting involved in the automotive community. I'm currently living in Germany and my content includes vlogs, car reviews, DIY's, event coverage, and track days. Hopefully I can help others by them learning from my successes but mostly from my mistakes.

Toll gefahren fürs erste Mal, mit sehr viel Übersicht und der richtigen Einstellung. Hab die Strecke, die ich inzwischen ziemlich perfekt kenne, durch dein Auge wieder neu wahrgenommen, war absolut spannend. :)
Great video Not sure if you're still monitioring comments but I'm about to buy an M4. I loved the curved screen when I first saw it in an M2, and that was one of the reasons I wanted to get an M4. Since then, I've read all the forums and 9/10 people hate the new screens. The overwhelming consensus is it look ugly/stuck on (which I can somewhat agree with now) and the usuability of it isn't as good (e.g. physical buttons and configurability of the instrument cluster). I think the 7 looks tired and dated, and don't want to buy into something old, but I would never buy something expensive without reading the reviews, and they are so overwhelmingly "1 star". Like EVERYONE hates it, and they loved the 7. I'm torn between whether to get a new car or a 2022. Is there anything you miss about the iDrive 7 car? What, if anything , was better in that version? Is there any good reason to get the 7 instead of the 8? I prefer the integrated hood around the instrument cluster, the straight line of the ambient lighting on the door (I don't like new one that is curved on the door handle). I like the screen size of the new ones though. Google Maps looks amazing.
So I originally had an F87 M2 with the ID6 and now own the G80 with the ID8 and an X7 with the ID7 and personally I do enjoy the curved display and in the beginning sure it felt overwhelming but once you play with it and set it up it all becomes very logic. The argument that it will look dated I find irrelevant. The screen itself is very vibrant and I’m sure with updates the configuration can change. As for the ambient lighting I haven’t even noticed the difference between the lighting. Ultimately the people complaining are the ones that are stuck with a stale mentality that hate change or the ones that can’t afford the cars and want to complain to justify the reason on why they would never buy the cars. If lighting is also a point of complaint in my opinion you are allowing yourself to be influenced by the forums and those that just parrot the hater narrative.
Sorry, not good with the kids. Yes you drive carefully but there is still some risk driving on a race track with all that cars going to their limits. You can take that risk. But take it for yourself and not for the whole family.
Unsinn die Fahrt zum Nürburgring über die Autobahn und die Bundesstrasse ist gefährlicher, weil dort viel mehr schlechte und unsichere Autofahrer unterwegs sind als auf der Rennstrecke
@@weedminer I bought it straight from the dealership. They tend to be cheaper than the million and one motorsports website vendors. Specially if you become friends with the parts department. Part number is SKU: 51165A5D595.
I did. Got full front, roof, , side mirrors, headlights, and side skirts. All done by Pascal at LP Foil in Nuremberg. Highly recommend him and you will most likely end up seeing a ton of exotics while there!
Can anyone help us out, Recent got one of these but how do you get the bhp, torque display on the control display.I have seen videos with there but don’t know where to find it
You make it look easy, but was it? I really want to do these upgrades to my M2C but not sure I trust my own capability! I know if I go to BMW to do the install it will be expensive.
@@HMDrivenso I ordered the kit from BMW and fitted it on Friday (10/05) with my Dad. Took it steady and followed your video as we did it and it was 💯 👌 interior looks awesome now. M Performance decal kit is the next mod I think 🤔
Thanks for this. It's been years of running a cable to charge my phone as I use Google maps. I finally installed an Android MMI Box and was eagerly waiting to finally use the wireless charger. Went to the local car wash, and one of the guys broke the adapter whilst cleaning the car and didn't say anything about it. On to the next DIY 😊
Don't buy this product if you ever plan on using a car wash- mine was damaged the very 1st time-Warranty does not cover. So they refused my request for a refund.
Just my two sense… this is a self inflicted issue. 1 if you care about the car you should be handwashing or using a touch less car wash. 2 any time a wash is being done it should be removed. Common sense and not Carbonio’s fault.
Has anyone tried to use the car with the wireless charger unplugged? Do you see error messages on the screen or in diagnosis? I installed the adapter as indicated here in the video (thanks to the author for the clear and exhaustive video 😊) but when I tried to position the phone it heats up a lot and charges slowly, so I would like to remove the wireless charger and take advantage of a larger storage in the armrest.
@@HMDriven It didn't bore me, in fact it was very useful, thanks to that I was able to adapt the wireless support to my "big" phone. Unfortunately, in my case it's not very efficient (it charges slowly and warms) so I'm thinking of removing it, hoping not to run into error messages in the iDrive or in diagnosis when I take the car to the dealer for maintenance
I find this video as underwhelming as you found the original key…. Does this new key actually DO anything different, or add any FUNCTIONALITY? Or it just looks a little more sexy?
Just picked up a 2020 M2C with 11k miles. It’s completely stock. Any issues you have encountered during ownership? How hard do you drive the car? I’m hesitant to accelerate hard from a roll and people have said not to drive the car in D3 setting
It was a must bring! The S202 also saw some dirt roads and is currently in the driveway still needing a carwash from all the sand and mud! The Italian would be pissed lol
